it's fine -- until if falls off. But really, is there some reason for not using a few screws underneath?
Looks good, by the way!

I'd use screws. One meet with a speedbump, and there it goes.

Screw it on. Double sided tape holds pretty well but I can garuntee that won't last more than about a month.

You should be fine. Its just rubber. It probally weighs next to nothing since its hollow. How much did you pay for yours

QUACK~!!!!!

you spent $30+shipping on that universal front lip???
not to be rude or anything but you know you can buy that at home depot for $14.99, the bf wanted to try it out on the yaris but i don't think it would look good, but after you post some pics then i might reconsider if you need a quick diy ... got it from the bf's old forum  Once the double sided tape is installed, begin installing the trim. Align the crease of the trim with the edge of the double sided tape. You can achieve a pretty nice line if you are careful  Instead of using screws to give the lip extra hold, I used black zip ties. I drilled holes along the bottom of the trim through the bumper and ran the zip ties through. They snug up great and seem to cover more area than screws.

hahaha, I planned on making a rear lip extension out of that "Home-Depot special" after seeing my friend do it on his 240.
